Grammys get political, as Kendrick Lamar takes home three early awards

Country artists Eric Church, Maren Morris and Brothers Osborne delivered a moving performance of Eric Clapton's Grammy-winning classic "Tears in Heaven", during the 60th annual Grammys Awards in New York City on Sunday, the names of victims behind them.

His performance cut between a spoken word segment from Dave Chappelle, who told the crowd, "The only thing more frightening than watching a black man be honest in America is being an honest black man in America".

The performance included a giant American flag and dancers in hoodies, who collapsed to the sound of gunshots as Lamar rapped.

Minutes later, Lamar and Rihanna won the first award of the night: Best Rap/Sung Performance for "Loyalty".

"The painful truth is that this year in just those two events 81 music lovers, just like us, went out to enjoy a night of music and never came back home", Morris said.
